Rockingham

Wanted to see this place called Garden Island and Penguin Island. So headed down to Rockingham. The night before, I found out that the Garden Island is used as the Aussie's Submarine Base and only part of the island is open to public - Only for those with their own boats, as there was no public ferry to Garden Island.

Consulted several maps, one had a causeway on it, the rest did not.
This is what we saw at the causeway to Garden, which is open only to Authorised Navy personnels :



Then headed to Penguin Jetty, hoping to go to Penguin Island to pet some dolphins and stuff :

We were there too late. Next ferry to Penguin island leaves at 3pm, and we have to be back on the last ferry island out at 4pm. Those Aussies and their working hours. So tourist unfriendly...
